The Tiny Town Of La Conner Is Secretly The Best Place In Washington

Some Washington towns are so spectacular, they naturally steal the spotlight (we’re looking at you, Leavenworth and Port Townsend). And while our charming tourist destinations deserve every bit of publicity and praise they get, there are also plenty of unsung heroes in our state that remain blissfully under the radar. And La Conner just might be the best of them all.

Nearly everyone who has visited this tiny Skagit County town has envisioned retiring there one day, or downsizing in favor of living a more simple life.

The town is located right on the Salish Sea, adding to its picturesque look.

Don't let its small size fool you -- you'll find plenty of things to do here.

Given its location, it's not surprising that La Conner has some excellent waterfront dining options.

And nothing beats waterfront wine tasting at Hellams Vineyard on a warm day.

There's never a bad time to visit La Conner, but if you go in April, you can check out the nearby Skagit Valley Tulip Festival first.

Of course, if the only thing you do here is take a sunset stroll along the Salish, you'll leave happy.

La Conner is definitely amazing… but by now, the secret is probably out. If you prefer a quieter getaway, check out one of these underrated towns instead.
